HC Deb 15 December 1953 vol 522 c22W
10. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the National Theatre Act, 1949, is likely to be implemented now that the plans for the development of the South Bank have been announced.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I cannot yet say when conditions will make it possible to authorise a start on this project.
